He says that France Will Conquer
Germany. aud that the Miiicn-
MUM viii Begin an 1900.


Rev. M. Baxter has just arrived
from England. He has come over TO
tell Americans that they have got just
about thirteen years more in which TO
be wicked and paint things red, and
then will come the fire works. He is
the editor OF The London Christian
Herald and prophet.
A reporter had long conversation
with the prophet in his office in the
Bible house last evening. and the re-
porter has made up his mind To leave
of cigarettes, give upall his bad hab-
its and join church, In hopes that he
will be ticketed through the millen-
mum that Is % lie yin in 1900 and last
fora thousand years.
Mr.. Baxter looks like a prophet.
He has full gray beard, thoughtful
eye, and brown wig.
ut Is a certain thing that there will
be a great European war within three
or four years." said he.
"How do you know." asked the re-
porter.
Because In Daniels prophetic writ
ings and in the Book of Revelation IL
states that ten years before the end
there will be great war, and the Ro
man empire be restored To the same
political divisions"
"You base your prophecy on blbli-
cal statements entirely, theng"
"Almost exclusively, though there
are other outside facts in perfect ac-
cordance with the main principles that
enter into it,"
"And how do you locate the date
for the end of the worldy'
"Not the end of the world don't
believe in that but the end OF this dis
pensation and the beginning of the mil
lennium. IL Is simple enough matter
no one can help understanding it-and
IL is as sure TO be true as the Bible itself.
There are many things that show the end
will come in 1900. Perhaps the most sim
pie and generally accepted is the b!bli-
cal statement that as II took six days 70
make the world, and there was a
seventh day OF rest. the world will last
for six days of thousand years each
and seventh day OF "a thousand years
that shall be the millennium. Chron-
illogical records show that there were
just four thousand years, from Adam
to the birth Of Christ, so that in the
year 1900 A. d. the time would be full
filed.
"What will be the nature Of the
European war;
:" lt is the war that is now brewing
France will conquer Germany and ex-
tend her possessions To the Rhine
The conflict will not be confined TO these
two nations, however. 1t will be "a
general European conflict, as the TWEEN
ty-three countries which now exist
must be resolved into ten; the five in
the western or Latin halt being Britain,
France, Spain, Italy, and Austria, and
the five in the eastern or Greek half
being Greece, Egypt, Syria, Turkey,
and the Balkan states. They will be
in one confederation, and will be all
kingdoms. so that the republic of
France and Queen Nictoria's reign
have but little longer TO run, you see.
When that war occurs IL will be the
fu,lilment Of the first great sign"
what will become of lrelandy"
at must be separated from England,
as ii was not in the Roman empire.
Just what sort of government Ireland
will have we do not know, but she GER
tainly Will have a parliament Of her
own in Dublin. All this is prophesied
by the ten-toed image OF Daniel and
the ten-horned goat But then comes
the little eleventh horn signifying a
rising king, that wakes great and
strong. The beast Is crimson, showing
the red republic communism, and so
on. That eleventh king will be the
head of the communists. lie will first
come into power somewhere in Asia
Minor, then become king OF Syria, and
then the emperor of the Roman empire.
He will get his power through the com
munists and the Roman church, that
will side with them, and for two years
the pope will have great temporal
power, until the emperor, the willful
king, rs he will be called, oyerthrows
him. Then the willful king will enter
into a compact with the Hebrews by
which they shall return 10 Palestine.
Then he VIII rule the whole world"
